Business Briefcase

IN THE BIZ
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase. What a relief this weather has been. It’s officially fall and it’s even starting to feel like it with nice, cool breezes starting to roll in. That’s right, it’s looking like we don’t have to wait until November again to don our fall attire this year. Sure, the weather is still reaching degrees upward of the 80s and 90s, but to us Arizonans that’s practically heaven when compared to this summer’s record of 118 degrees. But with the new season comes new activities and developments that are definitely worth your time. Before I even get into the details, it’s looking like a popular grocer may introduce a new facility to service more West Valley residents in the coming years, although some recent changes have delayed it. So even sooner, there is everything from new salons to car dealerships and plenty of chamber meetings to go ‘round. But that’s just the quick rundown. For all of you who are interesting in attending one of these events or checking out one of these establishments, you’re going to need the details. Well then, let’s get straight into it, shall we? First, some big developments are happening in Buckeye. Kroger was planning a new Fry’s Marketplace location at Indian School Road and Jack-

rabbit Trail. Due to changes in the grocery industry, however, Kroger decided to delay production on new stores until 2018. The new Fry’s is now expected to be completed in late 2019. The new M Lopez Beauty Salon held a grand opening and ribboncutting ceremony Sunday, September 24. The Buckeye-based salon, located at 204 N. Fourth Street, is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. M Lopez is closed on Sundays. For more information, visit Facebook.com/LopezBeautySalon. The Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce is holding another Business After Hours from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, October 12. Hosted by Foot (USPS 004-616) is published weekly
